Pathway Description
Irbesartan
Homo sapiens
Metabolic Pathway
Irbesaran is largely metabolized by glucuronidation and oxidation in the liver.The majority of metabolism occurs through the action of CYP2C9 with a negligible contribution from CYP3A4. Some hydroxylation also occurs in irbesartan metabolism.
Irbesartan can be glucuronidated by UGT1A3 to the M8 metabolite, oxidized to the M3 metabolite, or hydroxylated by CYP2C9 to one of the M4, M5, or M7 metabolites.The M4, M5, and M7 metabolites are all hydroxylated to become the M1 metabolite, which is then oxidized to the M2 metabolite. The M4 metabolite can also be oxidized to the M6 metabolite before hydroxylation to the M2 metabolite. Finally, the minor metabolite SR 49498 is generated from irbesartan by an unknown mechanism.
